Pushkar, a small town sacred to the Hindus and now a tourist attraction for its annual camel fair, the largest in the world. It is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs. Pushkar has many temples. Many legends have grown over the origin of Pushkar. According to one of them, a lotus slipped out of Lord Brahma’s hands and fell on the earth. Water gushed out of the spot where it fell. Thus the lake of Pushkar was created in the Thar Desert. Pushkar is one of the traditional “once in a lifetime” places of pilgrimage. Pushkar is located on the shore of Pushkar Lake, which has many ghats where pilgrims bathe. Over the centuries, it grew into a temple town and today there are as many as 400 temples in Pushkar. The present town was renovated in the ninth century by a Parihar king of Mandor, when he was cured of a skin ailment after a dip in the Pushkar Lake. Pushkar is a maze of temples, ashrams (hermitages) and dharamshalas (rest houses) and one is never far from the sound of worship and devotees. Pushkar lake is bounded by 52 ghats built over the centuries by kings and nobles (Photography is prohibited on the ghats). It is also significant for its Gurdwaras for Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. One of the swimming ghats is called Gobind ghat built by the Marathas in the memory of Guru Gobind Singh. For complete cleansing of sins, three twilights must be passed at Pushkar with baths at the three important and revered ghats - Varah, Brahma and Gau Ghats.

Lunch at hotel Jagat Palace.
